Description
The Gypsy King, crafted by Rance Rathie, the owner of Patagonia River Guides in Argentina, is a terrestrial pattern with a fascinating twist. Initially designed to mimic the Cantaria Beetle, it has gained popularity in the country as a stonefly imitation, despite the distinct differences between the two insects. It makes a deadly Stonefly, Hopper, Cricket, and Moth pattern.
Pro Tip
Effective Sizes: Tying the Gypsy King in larger sizes, such as #6 and #8, enhances its visibility and effectiveness, especially during hopper seasons. However, it can also be tied down to sizes #10 and #12 to match smaller insects.
